Protesters Block EU Council, Demand Global Warming “Bail Out”
Over 300 Greenpeace activists chained themselves together in front of the European Union headquarters today to demand that the EU council help pay for a climate change fund for poor countries in the United Nations.
“Finance ministers are giving billions of taxpayers’ money to failed banks, but we’re here to make sure they also put money on the table to tackle climate change,” Thomas Henningsen of Greenpeace International. “If the planet were a bank they would bail it out.”
